Dubbed the “Dream Team” of contemporary American jazz, the six-member supergroup R+R = NOW follow up their debut studio album, 2019’s ‘Collagically Speaking’ with a scintillating in-concert recording, ‘Live,’ which drops on February 12th 2021.
The album captures the sextet – Robert Glasper (keys), Terrace Martin (vocoder, saxophone and synths), Christian Scott a Tunde Adjuah (trumpet), Derrick Hodge (bass), Taylor McFerrin (synths) and drummer Justin Tyson – performing during their month-long residency at New York’s Blue Note Jazz Club in October 2018.
The electrifying double LP set contains seven tracks, including a cover Kendrick Lamar’s ‘How Much A Dollar Cost’ – just released as a digital single – and the 25-minute-long ‘Resting Warrior,’ an epic slice of sinewy funk-infused soul-jazz that highlights the group’s special on-stage alchemy.
‘Live’ by R+R = NOW Is Released On February 12th 2021 via Blue Note Records.
